The Opus is an American hip hop record production duo from Chicago, Illinois.[2] It consists of The Isle of Weight and Mr. Echoes.[3] AllMusic described them as "two of the most brilliant beatmakers working in hip-hop circa 2003."[4]
The Isle of Weight (born Aaron Smith) and Mr. Echoes (born Kevin Johnson) first met while attending Proviso East High School together.[5] In 1994, the duo started making music together.[5] The duo handled the production work on Rubberoom's 1999 album Architechnology.[6][7]
